Well the first game I ever played was the Legend of Zelda for NES. I remember my friend and I would just play that all day and we beat it eventually. Those were some of my best memories of gaming that and getting my first computer game, Need For Speed, and I would play that for hours when I was just a little kid. Those were some good times I think I'm going to go play some NFS: MW now.

Lots of good games out there but if i had to pick a few, RTCW, GR and HL1 would be high in the rankings as would be C&C, RA2 and R:TW.

Wow so many good memories:
Frogger on 5 1/4" floppy
Strip Poker and Leisure Suite Larry at my neighbor's color screen computer.
Doom 3 1/2" shareware floppy, I almost @&@%ed myself when I ran into the pinky demon.
Seeing a Game Gear for the first time and eventually buying my own.
Red Alert skirmish with the computer...it was about 6 hours of tesla coil building until I bombed his base into oblivion.
Total Annihilation seeing a plane do a corkscrew midair, I knew 3D RTS was here to stay.
Quake 1,2,3 because they shaped me into a multiplayer FPS multiplayer addict.
Killer Instinct combos
Warcraft 2 multiplayer over my first modem!
Super Mario Kart, I played battle mode against my sister about a thousand times.

- the old Tandy 486: obsessively playing Wacky Races, Microsoft Flight Sim 5.0, and Star Wars Tie Fighter
At this point my parents bought a pentium 233 (kingston overdrive chip ha) which I was stuck using for years. I spent alot of time on Gemstone III (text-based RPG with Prodigy access ... lol!), and Duke Nukem 3D took up more of my time than I'd like to admit.
Final Fantasy VII was very fun, but I spent alot more time playing Final Fantasy I, II, and III/VI in the long run.
I still play both the Quest for Glory and Leisure Suit Larry series today.
When I finally got a pre-built system and then later upgraded in waves I started playing various games, but I've stuck with Morrowind and KOTOR far longer than others.

I remember when I was in elementry school, I pwned the hell out of the class and beat oregon trail in 2 hours
But I remember the first time I played Doom, man I thought that game was so damn creepy, but I was 8 years old at the time
And the first time I played Clive Barker's Undying, woah, talk about an immersive game, I loved that game.
And spending hours and hours and hours playing Baldurs Gate and Baldurs Gate 2.

Ever heard of Zork I? The first game I ever played on a personal computer back when I was in college in the early 80's (before that it was good ol' Pong or Atari or even Mastermind on my HP calculator). Anyhow, Zork was by today's standards a simple text adventure game, but back then it was the greatest thing since sliced bread... those were the days when you had to use your imagination

Tread Marks was my first on-liner and my first ever game was Crash Bandicoot 1 on PS1 I loved Donkey Cong, Beating Super Mario2 and Super Mario Cart on SNES (with an old friend).

Monkey Island 3 was the first one I played and it was also awesome. So many good Lucasarts games...Day of the Tentacle was probably the one I played most.
